Russia Furious As U.S. Navy Destroyer Approaches Syria Without Notification

Late on Monday we reported that
US Navy Destroyer, USS Donald Cook (DDG-75), equipped with Tomahawk
cruise missiles, as well as the Aegis missile defence system, was
approaching the port of Tartus in Syria, which doubles as the location
for the Syrian logistics base of the Russian Navy. According to CNN
Turk, the US destroyer was at at a distance of 100 km from the port, as
of Monday.
The destroyer, which left the Cypriot port of Larnaka and was headed
for the Syrian shore, was reportedly buzzed by Russian warplanes which
circled above the US warship four times.

To be sure, Russia is concerned, and seemingly angry, that another showdown may be imminent. According to Pravda, the Chairman of the State Duma Defence Committee Vladimir Shamanov said
that the United States did not notify Russia of the approach of the
group of US warships to the Russian naval base in Tartus.

"A group of ships of the US Navy has appeared at a distance
of 150 miles from the Tartus region. It is common in international
practice potential participants of events in the area should be notified
accordingly in advance. We have not been notified, although we
had legally ratified the agreement on two bases in Tartus and
Khmeymim," the official said.

"Moreover, US President Donald Trump said that he would think about
the missile attack on Syria despite any resolutions at the UN Security
Council. All this smells of something are outside the framework of universally recognised international norms," Shamanov added, suggesting that Russia is preparing for a Syria attack.

More troubling is that also on Monday, Russia's Ambassador to the UN
Vasily Nebenzia said that the Americans would have to deal with
"serious consequences" should they attack Syria.

"We have repeatedly warned the American side about highly
negative consequences that may follow if they apply weapons against the
legitimate Syrian government, and especially if the use of these weapons
- God forbid, affects our military men, who legally stay in Syria," the Russian Ambassador to the UN said at a meeting of the UN Security Council.

However, after yesterday news that the office of Trump's personal
lawyer was raided by the FBI and that attorney-client privilege between
Trump and Cohen may be compromised, it now appears that in a desperate
diversion attempt from his domestic troubles, a military response
against Syria by Trump is now inevitable, especially following today's news that the president is canceling his trip to Peru's Summit of the Americas in order to "oversee" the Syria Military Response.
